LIRR Fare Ripoff Hoax... |

Posted by aaron on Wed Aug 15 20:07:35 2012 ...I had a Zone 3-1 Peak ticket that was expiring so I used it today from a Zone 4 station. The 3-1 Zone fare is $8.75 and the 4-1 Zone fare is $10.00.I gave the conductor the ticket and $1.25 and he told me the step- up was $2.00 not $1.25. I told him that shouldn't be, because it was a step-up, not a penalty fare. I know the penalty fare is $5 for purchase on the train and I don't have a problem with that. But, this was a step-up, not a penalty. He told me the step-ups are automatically rounded up because the conductor's aren't required to carry coins any longer. I told him that was fine, but I had the exact change. And, what if I gave him 8 quarters for the step-up. Was he not going to take it? I gave him 2 bucks, but I wasn't happy about it. What a hoax... |
